What a great weekend at the Train and Hobby Show 2024, Sandown Racecourse.
Mani 3IR, Craig 3NCR, Robert 3NFL, Ken 3MJF attended the show.
From what was seen, the show was a great success for the organisers.
The club managed to sell 6 Foundation books, as well as much interest in our hobby and club.
The day can be very demanding so I thank all the work and effort that the chaps put in on both the setting up and promoting the club and hobby. Thanks You!
A special thanks goes to Robert VK3NFL, for such enthusiasm! Well done Robert!
We managed to setup 40M HF, DStar, AllStar and DMR, as well as FM via local repeaters.
Saturday we found that HF 40M was ok and managed to make a few contacts, even though our antenna system was very basic. Using Kens 2M/70cm Whip on our Squid Pole, we could access many of the local repeaters. Sunday for HF was terrible because of massive interference from what we believe was generators being used for the car racing.
DStar allowed us to demonstrate connections to many countries around the world to the amazement of spectators.
All in all a terrific day.
Enjoy my video I have put together.. Cheers. Craig vk3ncr
